71 Thoughts I Had While Watching The New Beauty And The Beast

First up, shout out to all the girls who straight up lied about how much singing there was in the film just so they could drag their poor unfortunate soul of a boyfriend along to watch it with them. I’m not even sorry. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been dying to see Beauty and the Beast ever since the trailer came out and you may have even considered buying a bit of the merch from Primark, so the 17th March 2017 was no longer just St Patrick’s day for you, it became St Popcorn day. And also… St I-forgot-how-much-singing-there-was-in-this-film day.

Him: “But you’ve already seen it so you know what’s gonna happen.”

Me: “Don’t start acting up – you watch football every weekend, you know one team are gonna lose and one are gonna win but ya still watch it don’tcha?”

Him: “That’s not the…”

Me: *sings over him with song as old as rhyme*

Ok, so it’s a tale as old as time but the feels? They are all freshhhh. Here’s a few thoughts I had while watching the new Beauty and the Beast film…

Is it me or did the enchantress have the exact same thundery entrance as Nanny McPhee?

Show yourself, let me see you *I whisper to the hag in the hood*

If Nanny McPhee has a cameo in this that’ll be a bit weird

Ok cool, not Nanny McPhee

Wow, Emma Watson can actually sing!

And she’s not half as annoying as I thought she’d be

I’m not even picturing Hermione right now

Oh ok, her trampling over the villager’s clean laundry is a bit annoying

And when she’s reading with the kid and she goes all, “well that was just wonderrrful” oh please, reading with a kid is never that easy

No Belle, this isn’t The Sound of Music, why are you spinning around on top of the hills like that?

Totally forgot this song was in it

Come to think of it, there’s way more singing in this than I remember

I love it when the whole cast get involved in a song, it gives me goosebumps

So wait, Belle is just wandering through the village with everyone singing AT her, but she doesn’t know they’re singing at her?

Such a shame about Gaston being such a fit arsehole

That red jacket reminds me of something…

Ah, Cheryl Cole – Fight For This Love, that’s it

I don’t like the way Belle just told Maurice to stay safe… in Disney terms that means he’s a goner

It’s literally like I’m watching this movie for the first time

I can’t remember anything apart from the talking teapot and the rose

DON’T GO DOWN THAT ICY SLOPE MAURICE, DO THE OPPOSITE OF GOING DOWN THAT ICY SLOPE

Phew, Philippe is a legend

What is Maurice doing? You can’t just rock up to someone’s house, let yourself in, warm ya arse in front of their fire and help yourself to their leftovers. Oh and then pinch a rose from their garden on ya way out!

I wish someone looked at me the way Lumiere looks at Plumette

I wish someone looked at me the way Gaston looks at Gaston

That horse found its way all the way through the forest home again and I can’t even find my way back from the fridge

Did Belle really just drop kick her own dad? Savage – that’s gotta be like a good 6 broken ribs

So there’s 1713761 stairs in this place and not one of these characters gets out of breath. Oh no, they f*cking sing through their cardio!

I wish I looked like Emma Watson after I’ve ran up that many stairs

Woahhh that horse cannot take the Beast’s weight, did PETA sign this off?!

The Beast is literally me every time I eat

Aw look at the Beast and Belle having flanter in the library

So the Beast threw a snowball the size of Jupiter at Belle but she just dusts herself off?

The Beast’s bath tub is the real hero of this film

Look at them dancing away

He’s not even stepping on her toes, ah couple goals

Well that’s a weird ass magic book that serves absolutely no purpose to the plot other than to make us snot all over ourselves

Aw, Belle called the castle home, this is a big deal

No Belle, don’t you do that, don’t you leave the Beast Belle you need to stay and lurrrve him better again

Of course the horse is there ready and waiting when Belle decides to runaway. What are the wolves suddenly vegan now? Sure Disney, sure

That feckinnnng horse has an IQ of 17817281873

How did the villagers never stumble across this castle when it’s right round the corner?

LeFou is about as loyal as Robin Thicke

Oh no, the Beast is all sad and his shoulders have slumped. Belle you little b*tch, look what you’re doing to the poor Beast and you took his mirror so he can’t even stalk you. FFS BELLE.

Really need to stop calling him the Beast but do we even know his name?

A singing Beast, yep, it’s as creepy and horrible as I imagined

They can’t lock up Mauriceeee. I mean, it’s Mauriceeeee!

Do you know what’s really mad here? The villagers may be illiterate but they can remember song lyrics like I can remember when someone owes me £1.74

All this talking furniture, a library the size of f*cking Narnia and still no sign of a some kind of early lift invention?!

Belle’s dress is on fleek at the end – I want one just like that boho white one with the floral embroidery for Santorini

I’m so glad we have to wear these stupid glasses, ‘cos it means no one can see me crying like the huge Disney fan girl that I am

I’m going to buy some BATB merch from Primark tomorrow

Can’t wait to watch it again when it comes out on DVD and I’m just there, hungover and crying into the sleeve of my Lumiere pjs, sippin’ tea out of my Chip mug and polishing my horns… when should I have stopped?

And that my beautiful hunz, is a wrap! Have you seen the new Beauty and the Beast film yet? Let me know what you thought in the comments below! Love you bye.
